We used to live next to a party AirBnB and I would spend at least an hour of each day plotting revenge.
God I wish I did not understand so totally what you mean. I used to live downstairs from a similar thing and the amount of murder fantasizing would have me institutionalized if anyone could read minds.
Does bitcoin make people internalize its costs? Not all of them, but it does couple ownership with its benefits so bitcoiners are at least internalizing some costs of ownership.
I like this idea, and I like trying to think about ways that btc adoption could be incremental on some of these weirdly philosophical points. It makes me weirdly optimistic, that there are these forces that are subtle, but at the scale of billions of people over decades, incredibly consequential. Just a modest internalization of costs could result in something dramatic.
It's comforting sometimes to know others share our experiences.
